Unable To Edit Signature?

[mythlin 2]

Hi there!

 

I seem to be unable to edit my signature at all? There's no text box or anything to add text and then save it, just the option to turn off signatures for others, and the restrictions on signatures.

 

I'm clearly doing something wrong but I'm unsure what I'm doing wrong and I'd appreciate any help! 😅 

 

(I want to add a signature first and foremost to put my timeline in like others have for that easy access view (and also because I'm a little hesitant to add an official timeline linked to my account, merely because my last account got banned when I added a timeline to it))

Alright! If you're like me, having never posted before, and wanting to edit your signature, it seems like you have to post first before you can edit it!

 

Because as soon as I posted this, I could edit it XD So that solves that mystery!

 

Regardless, it is possible I could have missed this information somewhere, and if so, that's on me, but I'm glad it's working now anyhow!

Glad you sorted it. It would be super helpful if you could add the info to your timeline, as most people don't look at signatures but the timelines are incredibly helpful and all add to the body of knowledge on VJ.

 

Thanks and good luck.

Yeah I really want to, but my timeline already exists with the banned account and I'm unsure if there's a way I could add this account and remove the other one? Or if that timeline is now sort of tainted and will just get me insta banned if I add this account to it?

 

I'm still super confused as to what happened last time because all I did was make and add my timeline and then my previous account was banned (and I never posted with that account either). So I'm a little worried about losing this account too.

 

But thank you for the reply

You were banned on here? It won't have been adding a timeline that got you banned, but no idea why then - it's usually those suspected of spamming etc. 

 

Maybe site admin can take a look for you if you give your previous username.

Yeah I was banned on here and it only happened after adding the timeline weirdly enough? I think it must have triggered the anti-spam measures somehow, maybe because I edited it right after creating it as I realised I missed a little bit of info?? It was strange for sure.

 

I did PM Captain Ewok because the 'Contact Us' form wasn't working (it said it redirected too many times) so I don't want to like pile on any pressure on this, since I have this account now. But the username was RosesInTheGarden. I'm more curious on why the ban happened than getting it unbanned XD

No idea, but hopefully somebody else can help! 

 

Good luck with the visa process.

accounts that join and immediately start editing their profile are indicators of a spam account.
your previous account could have also been banned based on the name as there is a book with that exact name.

Ahh so it could have been the timeline or the name? I don't know how quickly I added the timeline but I think it was on the same day as I made the account, yeah.

 

I had no idea that there was a book named that, however, I was just thinking of a random username at the time! I guess that makes sense that why that would seem spammy and it would get banned.

 

Thanks for the info! It's great to know how it could have happened!

Agree with @Ban Hammer.  That username resembles what we typically see in a commercial spam account.  We try to flag them as soon as possible to prevent their cluttering the site with ads, spam, etc.

Ah so my mistake was probably the name then. That's good to know for the future, if other forum websites have a similar flagging system, it certainly seems effective!

 

I truly had no idea that username would have been flagged like that, so thank you for telling me about it, my curiosity is now sated!
